Updated Security Policy - Fall 2018

Beginning in fall 2018, to provide for the safety of all guests and employees at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the entire Denver Performing Arts Complex; Denver Arts & Venues will now provide enhanced security measures at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. The new security measures will include hand-held metal detectors (wands) and bag checks–no bags larger than 12” x 12” x 12”.

Beginning today, patrons entering all ticketed events in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House will experience the new security measures.

In furtherance of Denver Arts & Venues ongoing initiatives to create a safe and secure environment for all patrons and employees of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Colorado Ballet is pleased to partner with the Denver Performing Arts Complex on the newly introduced security measures for the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and all venues within the complex.

We encourage you to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to the start of your event. This will alleviate congestion in all walk ways and entrances while also allowing for proper screening.
